Google Pixel Phones Hit by Widespread NFC Connectivity Bug

A recent bug is affecting Google Pixel phones' NFC connectivity, causing issues with contactless payments and digital passes. Users have reported experiencing intermittent failures when trying to use tap-to-pay features on their devices.

The problem spans multiple Pixel lineups, including the Pixel 8, Pixel 9, Pixel 10, and flagship Pixel 11 series. Even after installing the latest system software and security patches, users are still experiencing issues with NFC connectivity.

To temporarily resolve the issue, users have reported that restarting their phones can restore tap-to-pay functionality, but only for a short period before the problem persists again.
